He is cunning

Eunuch Lishi brought the list of the robbers from the royal inspector and reached the manor with happiness. When the maidservant outside the chamber informed him that Xiaoming wasn't present, it confused him.

"Where did the Crown Prince go?" Eunuch Lishi queried her.

"Earlier Her Majesty had come. They had a conversation and the Crown Prince left in anger," the maidservant answered. Eunuch Lishi hummed and decided to wait for Xiaoming. He walked inside and looked at the desk.

Eunuch Lishi put the folded paper on the desk. He cleaned the brush which was on the inkstone and put it on the brush stand. He cleaned the desk and stepped back.

Luckily, Xiaoming returned in a few minutes. Eunuch Lishi greeted him and told him that he had brought the list of those robbers that the Crown Prince had asked for.
